So my thought is that economizing here is false economy, because of the cost of the cigars.
I like these:

Combined with some beads.

The beads are useful if you live in an area with fluctuating ambient RH - like where I am - where indoors it got to 65% yesterday. Come Novemcer it will be 35%.
Peace of mind is priceless.

Being in Canada I know what you mean w/ the fluctuations. Never had any success with the beads, tossed them out and using the gel puck by Xikar. Flawless and keeps my box steady at 67%. Did my first refill on it after almost 3 months. I still have the beads from HFI but either I undersized it, or something else....

I bought the 65% and they would not hold the RH at 60%... (Not my hygrometer either - tried two different ones)

I am a believer in the Gel now until I move up in size and will again try the beads, but probably just KL.
